Menstrual Equity at the University of Waterloo:
Waterloo’s Menstrual Equity pilot project aims to provide increased access to menstrual products in select washrooms across campus. This pilot is a collaboration between the Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Anti-racism Office and Plant Operations, and has been made possible by the sustained advocacy and work of the Women’s Centre.
Many students, faculty and staff on our campus menstruate. Menstrual equity seeks to provide access to the resources and support that people who menstruate need to manage their periods with dignity and without stigma. This includes access to safe menstrual products, as well as education and resources on menstrual health.
About Changing the Flow:
Just Like Toilet Paper, we believe every washroom should provide period products. Changing The Flow is dedicated to the achievement of menstrual equity and the elimination of stigma surrounding periods. We do this through awareness, education, and implementation.
Doors open at 6:00pm with the film beginning at 7:00pm
